This afternoon there were five electric company trucks on our street and near our apartment (3 of them had cranes and people working on the tops of the telephone poles). They had been out there for about three hours and I was certain our power was coming on ANY minute... but then one of the trucks drove away, and then another and then the others. We haven't seen them since which I'm pretty sure is a bad sign.
I cleaned out the fridge as the food was no longer cold. I didn't want it to begin to rot. It was so sad to throw away so many fresh groceries. We couldn't help but think of so many families who struggled to buy their milk and eggs just to have to throw them out. Tomorrow I will have to tackle the freezer, which is stocked full of frozen meat. Fortunately, these are our only concerns at the moment, and we still have plenty of panty items and out gas stove works fine.
Crossing our fingers that the electricity comes back on soon!
